Nokia announced that it is providing N-Gage game decks and N-Gage games to support the effort to break the world record for continuous gaming. The event, organized in co-operation with Finnish gaming channel Tilt-TV, takes place in the main display window of Helsinki department store Stockmann. From October 18 to 30, six gamers will engage in continuous 24/7 game play in a dramatic attempt to break the world record for continuous gaming. Gamers may be delighted to read this release, but to the rest, who really cares? The three male and three female gamers can play on any of the three gaming platforms available: personal computer, PlayStation2 or N-Gage game deck. In an interactive twist, passers-by can take part in the record-breaking event by using one of several available N-Gage game decks to compete in FIFA Football 2005 against the gamers in the window display via Bluetooth connection. "It's great to be a part of this attempt to break the world record for continuous gaming and to show off FIFA Football 2005, one of our hot new titles for the holiday season," said Pasi Pölönen, director, Games Publishing, Nokia. "And with the Bluetooth connection, people walking by on the street can take part in a multiplayer game to help beat the record. We're confident that anyone who tries multiplayer gaming over Bluetooth connectivity will love the experience! In addition, the N-Gage Arena offers a unique global connected multiplayer community." The world-record breaking event will use some of the latest games by Electronic Arts, including FIFA Football 2005 for the N-Gage platform. Coming out this holiday season, FIFA Football 2005 offers great multiplayer gaming for up to four people. Through the N-Gage Arena, FIFA Football 2005 players can compile a highlight reel of their best goals and post them for everyone to see.
